Walk Around in Circles
Thanks to the Lone Strangers for rocking Olaf this evening. And for hanging out with me. Good times.
When we wandered into the arcade this afternoon, I noticed that the Donkey Kong game was gone. I would have never notice, much less cared, if any other of the games had been missing, but I had recently set a high score on Donkey Kong. All of my pride and hard work vanished.
I decided that this experience is a good metaphor for life. You work hard at one thing, but as soon as you acomplish something, no one cards about that anymore.
Okay, so that was pretty weak. But I like life metaphors. In fact, life is much like a Lone Strangers concert at St. Olaf: you rock your heart out, but everyone around you keeps walking around in circles, absorbed in themselves.

That was probably the deepest blog I've ever read. Brilliant.
